Moonlight

At the last full moon, only I was bathed in it's light and the man beside me slept soundly. Earlier, the moonlight through the leaves of the walnut tree shone as brightly as sparkling diamonds, the movement of the breeze drawing attention again and again to it's glittering beauty.

The month before, I woke in the night and saw Tinkerbell fluttering daintily through a glass of water lit by moonlight. She kept on fluttering until I sank peacefully down into my slumbers, but  she was gone by morning.

The moon and stars are so beautiful in Romania. The sky is often cloudless, and the paucity of street lamps that I bemoan when walking in the dark, only enhances the natural splendour of the heavens.

The website Dark Skies Awareness has some beautiful images of the night sky all over the world, including Romania.

Did you know that there is a Dark Sky Park in Galloway, Scotland? The moon looks beautiful and mysterious in Summer or Winter. Watch and listen to this by wintermood.

The sun is shining now and the mystery has gone with the moonlight. Another month has gone by without an attack by werewolves or vampires.

Have a nice day,  Anne-Marie
